Biography
Jezdimir Dangic was born on 4 May 1897 in Bratunac, Bosnia, Austria-Hungary. He joined the Young Bosnia revolutionary movement, leading to his arrest by Austrian authorities. During World War II, Dangic became a leader of the Chetniks against the Yugoslav Partisans after escorting King Peter II of Yugoslavia out of the country, and his forces attacked the Independent State of Croatia while massacring hundreds of Bosniaks. Beginning in December 1941, Dangic collaborated with Nazi Germany against Josip Broz Tito's communist partisans, but he was arrested in April 1942 after breaking his promise to stay in Montenegro only. Dangic was imprisoned by the Nazis in occupied Poland, and in 1943 he escaped from the camp and joined the Home Army during the 1944 Warsaw Uprising. In 1945, the Red Army extradited him to Yugoslavia, and he was executed in 1947.
